Netflix Drops New Thriller ‘Night Always Comes’ Starring Vanessa Kirby
Netflix has dropped “Night Always Comes”, a tense psychological thriller that puts survival, family, and desperation at the center of its story. The film stars Vanessa Kirby as Lynette, a woman whose life is collapsing under the weight of debt and gentrification. With her family home on the line and her brother depending on her, she is forced into one relentless night of choices that could save or ruin everything.
Set in Portland, Oregon, the movie captures the raw struggle of a woman fighting for stability in a world that feels like it’s closing in on her. Lynette’s race to secure $25,000 in less than 24 hours pulls her into dangerous encounters and forces her to confront a troubled past she has tried to bury.
Directed by Benjamin Caron, best known for his work on The Crown and Andor, the film leans heavily into realism and intensity. Also, Caron described the story as one that mirrors the everyday pressures many people face, working hard yet still living on the edge of eviction.
The script was adapted from Willy Vlautin’s 2021 novel by screenwriter Sarah Conradt, with Kirby herself stepping in as a producer. In addition, the supporting cast includes names like Jennifer Jason Leigh, Stephan James, Julia Fox, Randall Park, Michael Kelly, Zack Gottsagen, and Eli Roth, each adding layers of tension and unpredictability to Lynette’s night.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
